Fact Rotherham don’t think Ball is worth keeping for league 1 campaign speaks volumes about Ball’s ability or lack of. He is an extremely limited player and not one we should be bring to a club who are looking to challenge at the top end of the league. Would rather we used young players to plug gaps in the squad than journey men like Ball.

I was at the Sunderland v Man United game in 2012 so got to watch the hope building in the United support as the game went on only for it to be crushed right at the end. As a neutral it made great viewing however as others have said on a footballing basis the level of consistency show by both teams in the run in has been unbelievable so this season wins it for me.

Rotherham have confirmed that Ball’s contract will not be renewed following their relegation to league 1.

Shinnie now 90 minutes away from being a premiership player after Derby best Leeds 4-2 at Elland Road.

It was mentioned by a few of the Cove fans at their game with East Kilbride. Apparently he has been told latest injury means he is no longer able to play full time so is dropping down to play part time. No idea if that is true but what they were claiming last week.

Think McIntyre made a fine job of ruining his career himself. Dundee fans I know had been saying for months he was a disastrous appointment and would take them down.

Opens at pictures of new strip for me. Looks like the strip from 2 seasons ago. Not a fan of stripes on the side either but at least it’s red and white.

New home strip launched today. https://www.afc.co.uk/2019/05/14/2019-20-home-kit-pre-order-now/

McIntyre punted by Dundee about 8 weeks to late. Was a very odd appointment in the first place.

Chris Hughton sacked by Brighton after keeping them up for 2nd season in a row.

Cove won first leg of play off with Berwick 4-0 today. Looks like City of Aberdeen will have two league teams going forward or at least until the Dons fuck off to Westhill.

Salford beat AFC Flyde 3-0 to gain promotion to League 2.

Shinnie back in. Lewis Logan Lowe Considine McKenna Shinnie Ferguson Ball Stewart Wilson Cosgrove.

Ash Taylor has been freed by Northampton....

Curtis Main 3 goals in 30 league games. No thanks.

Going to go against the grain here and say would not be happy if we signed Ball or Hoban. Hoban is a great player when fit but problem is he is never fit. To injury prone. Ball at his best is a mediocre defensive midfielder who looks out his depth against the better clubs. Not the sort of player a club that is looking to challenge at the top end of the league should be looking to sign.

Would expect team will be same as one that started on Saturday as long as everyone is fit. Would have liked some of the youngsters off the bench to be given a run but cannot see McInnes doing that. Cannot see 10 extra loyalty points attracting many more along. Anyone know if season ticket holders will be getting 10 extra loyalty points? With Maroon Spoon Burners being a cup final cannot see them bursting a gut to win this which might work in our favour. In Early train then beers in town Y Beers in town as staying up 1-0 Ferguson

Thought we played well in first half and created several good chances. A half decent striker on the field and we could easily have been 2-0 up. Defending for all their goals was awful especially 2nd. Hopefully Jambos and Tribute Act can do us favours today. It would be unacceptable not to get Europe.

Assuming Gleeson injured as he is not even on the bench.

Season is not over as we have a European place to play for.

I have renewed the season tickets but will not be renewing DNA. I only took it last year as I panicked needlessly about a ticket for Burnley away. As others have said if this was a vehicle for eventual fan ownership then might have considered keeping it on.

He is an Edinburgh lad so back home which is important to him allegedly. Suspect we would have to seriously beat Hibs wage offer to have any chance of getting him in. Would expect clubs in league 1 in England would still be interested in his services as well.

This is great news. As others have said he is a quality keeper who could easily play at a higher level.

Might as well give it a go. Trying to shitfest in last couple of games has seen us beaten anyway.
